Vista doesn't autorun by DarkMe on 09-12-2006 at 01:57 AM

I have the DVD with the iso file of vista but now i can't install it.
I reboot but it initialize normally
Does it matters i put "VISTA" as the dvd name?

did u burn the image file on a dvd? u are supposed to burn it as an image so it would prompt you to search for a file with an .iso extention before burning

also in ur bios check if it first boots from cd, then hd

If you even have to ask about the name, you didn't burn it as an image.  Instead, you burned it as a file on a data CD.

The exact steps for burning an ISO image will depend on the recording software you use -- see if yours is listed here:

burn it at a slower speed, not fastest ,  best way is to do a MD5Sum check on the .iso

Also check that CD is on top of HDD in the BIOS boot settings. Also, if you don't have a separate partition it will install over XP/what you had before, just warning you if you didn't know.

Yeah, make sure your DVD-ROM drive is higher in the "Boot Order/Sequence" than your HDD. The boot order is essentially the order in which your computer will check for something to run. If your DVD-ROM drive is after your HDD then your computer will find windows first and not check the dvd.

If you're not sure about your boot order, then try another disk that you have booted from before (maybe Windows XP or Ubuntu Live). Take note that Windows XP, and probably Vista, show a small message (probably at the bottom of the screen "Press any key to enter Setup ...", and if you don't, the computer boots normally instead of from the CD/DVD.
